Aspen native, Brittany Van Domelen began working at O2 Aspen in 2011 as a manager and assistant buyer. Drawn to the unique idea of creating a “one stop shop” for all things fitness, fashion, and beauty - Brittany learned the ins and outs of the day-to-day operations of O2.

More from Brittany:
You started as an employee at O2 in 2011. After working your way up and learning all sides of the business, you chose to take ownership of the company in 2015 (something we find so inspiring). How did you know this was the right opportunity for you?
O2 encompassed everything I love - fashion, fitness, wellness and beauty. There is no place like it. I really appreciated that O2 saves us all time - time from driving from place to place searching for these little bits of wellness that could easily be under one roof! I knew I could grow it, elevate it and expand it.
You’ve found the perfect way to integrate your two obsessions: fitness and design. What advice would you give other women who are trying to find a way to turn their passions into careers?
Set daily goals, weekly goals and year end goals. Find other women around you who believe in you. Collaborate with them. Also, read the book The Artist's Way.
You’re lucky enough that you grew up and now spend your free time in Aspen—one of our favorite travel destinations, but you’re also a big traveler yourself. What are your favorite ways or places to travel?
I love going to places that offer both adventure and relaxation. The fitness business owner inside of me loves a morning activity followed by a well earned indulgence. My favorite trip I have ever taken was a hiking trip to Patagonia. We hiked 20 miles a day, hot tubbed in the afternoon with champagne and slept 10 hours each night. I came back feeling so good instead of depleted.
What does self care mean to you?
Self care to me means giving yourself what you need in the moment you need it. Taking a pause during a stressful day for a yoga class, sleeping in when you’re extra tired or meeting a friend when you are feeling lonely. Women are under alot of pressure to be perfect. Self care happens when you’re willing to reject that idea and feed your soul what it really wants.
